Make It Period Later

Lyrics by Colin, Kareina, Connor, Siobhan, Ivone & Leah

(To the Tune of: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious)

Hillarie has been a peer since AS I or II
There is no art or science that she don’t know how to do
So very well respected we hang on her every word
At auction late one evening this is what we overheard:

          Just learn how to do it now and make it period later
          Choose an art or science and become a great creator
          If you do it well enough then you can imitate her
          Just learn how to do it now and make it period later
                    um diddle diddle diddle um diddle aye
                    um diddle diddle diddle um diddle aye

Needlework with nylon thread or maybe polyester
Carpet armor, freon helms, conveyer belts to vest her
Tertiary sources: your citations interest her
Start with these and soon you’ll be a laurel of the Wester

          Just learn how to do it now and make it period later
          Choose an art or science and become a great creator
          If you do it well enough then you can imitate her
          Just learn how to do it now and make it period later
                    um diddle diddle diddle um diddle aye
                    um diddle diddle diddle um diddle aye

If you’ve listened carefully you know the road to take
Your creative genius now should come right full awake
But employing all these practices will make her council quake
So learn to make it period someday for goodness sake!

          Just learn how to do it now and make it period later
          Choose an art or science and become a great creator
          If you do it well enough then you can imitate her
          Just learn how to do it now and make it period later
